POISON ARROWS

Feeling tense or headachy? According to feng shui lore, a ‘poison arrow’ might be to blame. Building corners can project large-scale arrows, while columns, shelves and furniture edges can create arrows inside. Chests of drawers and bedside tables are the major culprits in bedrooms (especially when pointing directly at your pillow), while in offices, partitions and desk corners can prove problematic for nearby colleagues. Even a slight repositioning of furniture can help, or alternatively, the arrow-like energy can be diffused with fabrics, screens, leafy plants, wind chimes or hedging if outside.
